McCabe Rings a bell. I would be interested to know where you are in the photo. I can't quite place Mr. Newman but I seem to remember a kitchen clerk, could that be him?
I remember Ziggy the entremetier, i remember Jean Pierre the saucier who later worked with me at the Carlton Tower with Bernard Gaume. I remember all the sous chefs and I remember Monsieur LaPlanche the chef. I also remember Monsieur Julien who left shortly after I arrived. I think he left because they didn't make him the chef. Even in those days there were politics. The chef who came to replace LaPlanche died a few weeks after arriving and that is how Trompetto was made the chef. I remember him in his bowler hat. Quite the character! Such intrigue! It was all far above the heads of us lowly commis. I remember a lot of people from that time so why can't I place you although your image is beginning to form in my mind. I knew everyone in the kitchen there and I would be interested, as would everyone judging by the response to hear your stories. There were many. What did we hide in our hats? I can't remember. Was it food?
